Dimma did it the hard way. Took over a basket case.
Chris inherited a champion team.

In severely compromised drafts too.....

In some ways I often wonder if the compromised drafts worked in our favour.

Haven't Geelong given away all draft picks to remain relevant in the present  ??

They will be spewing if Kelly goes .

Yep. Geelong has given away their first round pick in the last 3 drafts. Their last first round pick was Nakia Cockatoo at the 2014 draft.

2017:
Traded end of first round compo pick 19 (Motlop to Port) for Ablett from Gold Coast.

2016:
Traded 2017 first round pick as a future pick for Touhy from Carlton.

2015:
Traded first round pick for Dangerfield from Adelaide.
Traded 2016 first round pick as a future pick for Henderson from Carlton.

Tim Kelly was pick 24 last year. So if he goes, the Cats have pretty much had three years of no quality youth coming into the club.

They tried topping up to pinch a flag when they were/are nowhere near good enough. They are in for a world of pain in a few years time when there will be a huge age bracket gap in the middle of their list. So they'll be 'forced' to top up on the top up just to remain mediocre or go down the complete rebuild from scratch path. Either way there's a real potential for them to do a Carlton and absolutely destroy their list for a decade.

But according to Chris Scott, a lot will need to go right for Richmond  .

Nothing would make me happier than a Chris Scott Geelong outfit to implode. Kinda like how St Kilda kept rolling the dice with its best 22 and developed no one else and them after 2x GF appearances bottomed out.

Geelong still going the 'quick fix' top up route. They're trying to poach Jack Steven from St Kilda.

Should someone tap them on the shoulder and remind them they built their dynasty from picking the eyes out of the 01 super draft, along with a plethora of quality F/S's?

Not trading in a bunch of campaigners....

Just heard on SEN that since 2011 Richmond have won more finals than Geelong has.. 

[one-eyed]

Geelong coach Chris Scott has described the long-term deal to play the AFL Grand Final at the MCG as a “travesty”.

[Diocletian]

Either way, there'll never be one at Kardinia Park....

[wayne]

Could someone please get Chris Scott off AFL360?

I can't watch the show on Mondays any more because of him.

So Chris is advocating playing the GF at venues that would mean less of his own members could attend

'They were better last year': Why Scott believes Cats can trouble Tigers

CHRIS Scott believes Geelong has a "method that troubles" a Richmond side he declared a better outfit in 2018 than the 2019 version.

Friday night's preliminary final will be just the second meeting for the two sides this year after Geelong's commanding 67-point win back in round 12.

And while the Tigers are expected to field eight players that missed that loss – including Jack Riewoldt, David Astbury, Kane Lambert and Toby Nankervis – Scott said his side would take confidence.

"They've (Richmond) made a few minor tweaks to the way they've been playing since then, but I think to look on the positive side, and I don't think it means that much, but certainly our players aren't looking back thinking we can't beat them," Scott said on Tuesday.

"I think we do have a method that troubles them, I'm not a big fan of looking too far back but I don't think we were anywhere near as good a team as we are now, last year.

"And I think they were a better team last year than they are now.

"We played them twice (last year) and got roughly within a kick those times (three point and 18-point losses) as well.

"For what it's worth, our players would think, 'Well if we get the game on our terms there is a way to beat them'."

Pin this up on every Tiger player's locker.

What a sooky smug idiot! Yeah Scotty, a team that's added Tom Lynch to its forward line and won its last 10 games in a row including a final interstate is a worse side .
